    Not for me. Cunningham was getting knocked out anyway.

    I certainly thought so too. He was combo holding and hitting.
    This wasn't a good win for the brit IMO

    Borderline, Cunningham was trying to hold and Fury pushed him off.

    Not at all and I'm not even a fan of the guy, thats what you do when you have that much of a physical advantage. Asserting yourself as the bigger man, thats an old school tactic.

    Cunningham was already in bad shape when that punch finished him.

    I had a bigger problem with the shove Fury gave in the early rounds. I would've taken a point away from him for that. Fury was losing that fight so he basically had to resort to dirty tactics to win.

    He's learning from Ward so it was masterful and old school. Accept it.
